Made the jump

A while ago my wife got her Sulcutta Tortoise, we already know how big they get and how long they can live...................

Last night it was my turn. LoL
My Dubias are over producing like crazy and I was looking for a "disposal" for lack of a better word.

Well this one is a start, picked up a little Savannah Monitor that's about 8 inches or so long with a bad attitude.
Should fit right in with everyone else :gj::gj:

Hope the tank will last a little while so I can rearrange to larger housing.

Welcome to the big lizard club!!! Are you planning on building the permanent cage?

Oh my!
Very prehistoric.
Name??

If money were no object, I'd have a professionally made habitat for a couple of those black water monitors (Salvator varanus - or something close). Even just out of the egg, some of these guys look like they are about a hundred years old. ...old souls, I guess.

Very cool.
Best of luck to you with both.

I probably will build it. May even get an outside playground when I have to build for the tort.
Havent thought that far ahead yet, I never do LoL.

Congrats!

He does look Bad az.

Always nice when the significant other is into reptiles too. You getting that? I'm getting this! Congrats on the new additions.

Nice pickup! I see you did some rearranging for that massive tank! How long till he'll outgrow it?

Nice and healthy, very nice and keep it that way!

They grow crazy fast. Mine maxed out at an inch per few weeks.

Cool pick up! Right on time for Jurrasic park! Enjoy.:gj:

Haha ya, how big is he now? Isn't it amazing that the bite of a lizard even a small one makes a snake bite seem like not that big of a deal...funny thing is every time my snake strikes I still jump like a wuss and when the tegu lunges at me I'm fine.

Well Chomper (seems to be the common name LoL) is at 280 grams and already getting a little large for the enclosure.
Though he has been getting more out time with me being home the past couple months.
I am so tired of cleaning his water bowl........ its his ever cleaning outhouse and man can he make it stink!!

No but the fool sure makes one. :mad::mad:

Yea my boyfriend Savannah does the water dish all the time. I have a feeling that they enjoy pooping in water A... LOT...

Does he still have a bad attitude? My old Savannah hated me pretty much every moment except when I brought him rats. Then he was my friend until that rat went down the hatch lol.

Yeah the pinkys are the peace makers.

He's put some size on fast! My Tegu used to destroy her water dish too, but once I got her in her big enclosure she stopped doing that.

464g and still cage angry but once I get him out he chills out.
Now he eats his roaches from the bowl while I am holding it.

Very cool, looks bigger from the last update!

Someone went for a swim today. He is getting big (I should have threw him at the scale but didn't have time).
Need to start building the new enclosure real soon. :rolleyes:

Well the not so little guy finally got an upgrade and he really is digging it. LoL

Weighing in at 812g now.

Got a 110 gallon trough from Tractor Supply for $70, it was kind of hard to pass on as well it is water proof.

I have found that he does love hard boiled eggs.
This is great because we are also up to 10 hens now so he is getting a rotation of eggs, dubia and rat pinks.

Love those troughs.
I own a few sizes, and keep goldfish in two. Would like to get more; they have endless uses.
You can raise a batch of baby chicks in that if/when he outgrows it (how big will he get?).

damn pit that's a hell of a jump!, hes awesome SM's are baddass enjoy the little dino, I Like the pit i see there too!

Should get about 3 feet....ish

Chomper went for a little float in the tub today while I cleaned his house.
Weighed in at an even 4 pounds!!:O

He's a handsome fellow! What's his attitude like now?

He is so calm now, like a whole different guy.
He does still get a little worked up when I am feeing the snakes, he knows a rat pup may be coming his way.

Awesome! Food time is a totally acceptable time to get a little worked up. ;p
